Passage

Through out the century has palanquin played a large part in Anglo-Indian life. It was the regular mode of conveyance from house to office, and on all small journeys of business or pleasure, and on long expeditions across country. With the growth of roads carriages of various sorts were used for afternoon airings, but the palanquin remained the essential means of transport within the settlements. Every one down to the writer just arrived from England possessed a palanquin if he could.

The original palanquin was the dooly, which was an ordinary string bedstead, five feet by two, covered with a light bamboo frame and draped with red curtains. From this the ornate palanquin of Kolkata and Chennai was developed .first the shape was changed to that of a hexagon. Then the sides were raised, more ornament was added and the canopy was arched. Cushions were added inside, and curtains which could completely close the palanquin if desired. The occupant reclined at full length, and was often supplied with specially designed hookah, at which he could pulp as he was borne along to business.

In Kolkata, Oriyas were usually employed as bearers, but their monopoly was later broken by men from Patna and Dacca. The usual number in a set was seven, one cooking for the rest, one being the sirdar or head bearer. The actual carrying was therefore done by five men. The palanquin bearers were very independent and on occasion went on strike.
